Get Outside and COMPETE!

Most people I talk to are bored to death with their "training". I won't go off on a rant but most people confine themselves to what they hear is correct by the so called "fitness experts". Obviously I'm referring to the middle aged guys who are walking their lives away on the treadmill bored outta their skull thinking that their athletic/ competitive days and juices are looonnnnggg gone. Also steering away from lifting heavy because you're "supposed" to get weaker as you age. Same goes for the women. Women have a primal and competitive edge to them as well. So why are the pink dumbbells and bosu balls being used as staple pieces of equipment? So how do we avoid being bored out of our minds and unleash the competitive spirit that seems to be lost in most us now of days?

Get some big toys and set them up outside
such as:
- A prowler
- Kettlebells or Dumbbells
- Resistance Bands
- Jump Rope
- Weight plates
- Dragging Sled
- Sand bags

You can replicate any in the gym workout with the afforementioned tools. Don't believe me, here are two examples

example 1: full body "max effort" lift
Lift A: Low handle prowler sprint: work up to a 4 step max in weight
Lift B1: Kettle Bell Clean & Press: 4 x 6 rest: 1:30
Lift B2: Backward Sled Dragging: 4 x 6 steps per leg, rest: 1:30
Lift C1: Kettlebell Swings: 3x12 rest: 60s
Lift C2: Push Ups against light band: 3 x 15 rest: 60s

example 2: full body conditioning workout (anaerobic lactic capacity)
A1:kettlebell front squat: 10 reps
A2:kb row: 10 reps
A3:kb lunges: 10 reps
A4:kb push press
A5:kb swing
rest: 2 minutes after A5, repeat 4-5 times

B1:sprint 60 yards to 2 kettlebells
B2: pick up kb's and over head walk them back to the start
repeat twice

Let's get away from hanging out on the treadmills, doing curls in the mirror and waiting for "your song" to come on your ipod to do your cable crossovers. Grab dirty/heavy shit and get to work.

P.S. I'm guessing everyone thinks I don't train inside anymore. I just haven't brought my camera inside recently. I'll have some "in the gym" stuff shortly (snatch grip deads, front squats, weighted chins, etc.)
